Special editions and boxsets have long been de rigueur for the
home video format. Almost any notable
film that one can think of gets the royal treatment sooner or later. Even not-so-notable films come loaded for
bear with a number of special features and the like. With classic rap releases, such gifts and
goodies rarely come down the pike. Even
albums with actual liner notes are few and far between. That has been slowly changing over the last
decade, as a number of seminal rap releases are now being treated with the reverence
they deserve. The GZA’s
second album, Liquid Swords, will
soon become part of that exclusive club.

Movie Review: Superman vs. The Elite
Superman’s personal code demands that he bring violent
criminals to justice as opposed to killing them on the spot. He has always done so dutifully, and his
public has always loved him for it. Alas,
times are changing. The masses have
grown weary of homicidal villains who seemingly don’t respond to Superman’s methods. Consequently, many world leaders begin to
question Superman’s effectiveness as a hero.
Enter The Elite, a violent super-team who offer themselves as a viable
alternative. Unlike Superman, The Elite
have no problem administering capital punishment. They see Superman as a relic of the past, and
openly defy his authority. The
ideological differences between the two culminate in a deadly showdown. Will truth, justice, and the American way
ultimately prevail?
